 * Hi there,
 * I manage WordPress websites for others and as of today, I have problems to update
   any site/plugin with the latest updates. It is just loading, loading, loading
   and loading, but nothing happens. It seems, that the connection to the update-
   server do not work correctly anymore.
 * Is anyone else having this problem today? I noticed someone else on Twitter, 
   who said that [https://downloads.wordpress.org/](https://downloads.wordpress.org/)
   shows an error. Well, I don’t know if that is connected, since I usually don’t
   go to that page.
 * The problem in detail:
    1.) I log in to a wordpress admin dashboard. 2.) I see,
   that there is an update of one of the plugins available, so I click on updates.
   3.) The server tries to open a connection and it tries that for ages until I 
   am presented an error that shows a timed out connection.
 * So if any of you know any help to get rid of these time outs on our side, your
   help is pretty much appreciated.

 * I can’t reproduce that. I just successfully updated several plugins. It might
   be “one of those internet things” — so try again in a little while.

 * Thanks for trying, Steven.
 * I tried that for the last 4h+ and I tried to find the sources of the error. But
   I couldn’t find anything. Now everything is working well again. Let’s hope it
   stays like this.
 * Best,
    Patrick
